These irons are awesome! There is not one bad thing I can say about these sticks. First of all the clubs are just plain beatiful at address and in the bag, which matters to me. They hit long and they are more forgiving on off-center strikes than you would think and give great feedback. I am not really a shot shaper but I'm sure these can maneuver just fine for a surgeon. I have the 7 8 9 and PW only. My 4 5 and 6 iron are taylormade RAC OS2. I hit my 300 7 iron the same distance as my RAC 6 iron (165-170 yards) and the ball flight is pretty high too.

The feel of a well struck ball is just awesome and sooooooo satisfying and fun to watch. They will forgive you on off-center hits but they will still let you know you missed. I've hit a few way out on the toe, I mean way out- halfway off the grooves. even then, you still get about 85-90% of it.

These clubs also seem to be pretty durable for forged irons. I have played about 50-60 rounds with mine and they still look almost new. Bag clatter is minimal.

I am a little bit of an ebay club junkie but these babies are gonna stay in the bag for a while. I am now looking to get a full set and get rid of my oversize long irons because my iron play is improving fast.

You can get a set of these on ebay in great condition for less than $200. Do it!!! You won't be sorry. These perform just as well as any forged cavity backs that have hit the market... Titleist, Mizuno, Callaway, Hogan, all of them.

I would love to see some fresh reviews on these and how some others would compare them to other forged sets on the market... lets hear it.

Never used

I played the game for 7 years now and had been using the TM 200 irons since. I like the feel of these irons. Hit my 6 iron a decent 175 yards and 4 iron 190 yards. Still does not handle the no.3 well but I think I'll get there in a couple years or so. I am current looking for a used 6 iron and AW to replace wear and tear they are my favorite clubs.

taylormade first gave me these irons in 2004 and i have been using them ever since, these irons are forgiving to the accurate player. i love my irons, i got raw distance with them i hit my 3 iron 260metres on an average swing!

Great irons!

Forgiveness - Ideally suited for a player who is reasonably consistent in hitting the sweet spot. Clubs have a shallow cavity. Forgiveness is between a cavity and blade iron.

Workability - Very workable. Want to hit a fade, draw, knock-down or any combination - No problem.

Looks - Looks like a blade from the top with a thin top line, but with a slightly longer blade length than the typical blade. Nice chrome finish that looks classic and easy to keep clean.

Distance - Distance is largely a function of loft, shaft flex and hitting the sweet spot. These irons have lofts that are slightly weaker than today's typical irons. As a result, they play slightly shorter. This is a positive, not a negative. The marketers are out of control -- they continue to reduce iron lofts to satisfy golfer egos. I prefer a PW with 48 degrees of loft so I can transition nicely to a 52 degree gap wedge. Don't select irons because they are longer.

Lies - Long iron lies are flatter than today's typical standard. Short irons are similar to today's standard. I adjusted the lofts in the long irons to be slightly more upright. Lofts should be adjusted based on dynamic swing testing.

Shafts - Using the Rifle Flighted 5.5's. Long irons fly slightly higher than the "old standard" True Temper Dynamcic shafts. Distance recommendations can be found on Rifle's website. Compared to the True Temper Dynamic shaft, the 5.5 flex plays slightly softer while the 6.0 flex plays slight stiffer.

Again great irons! Perfect for someone seeking a semi-players iron that is somewhat forgiving.

Too many to list, but mostly name brand clubs in the player or mid-game improvement category.

I bought my 300s in 2004, loved them, then(as you do), decided it was time to move on to another set, new clubs, better golf, I thought. but for some strange reason I keep coming back to these irons. With everything I've tried, including Taylormade's latest irons, I cannot find an iron that feels as solid and great to look at as the 300 forged. I have bought and sold many sets, but I will not sell my 300s, a great set of irons that surpass anything produced since.

i never played golf in my life and my uncle bob told me to try these TM300s as they are a good starter set. I hit the ball far. for example, my 5 iron flys 210. I like to say booomshalaka after i hit the ball. feeeeels goood.

I bought these on Ebay for $425. Right before they were discontinued. Now you can get them for dirt cheap. I have thought about buying another set as a spare. These clubs are great. They look great, great feel, and great playability. The reason you have people giving them negative reviews is because they are high handicappers who shouldn't be playing a forged club. Trust me when its 30 degrees out and you miss hit the clubs, you will feel it. Just like any forged club.

Ive used blades for the last 10 years - mainly Hogan's and Mizuno's tried a few forged cavity back clubs - but they arent the same.
I decided to try and find a set that would lower my ball flight a little and add a little bit more forgiveness. I used the Mizuno MP32's for about 12 months and they are great clubs - I just found the short irons to be a little harsh on centre hits.
So I tried a few irons out - Callaway X-Tour (dull), Taylormade TP (solid), Ping S59 Tour (too high), Wilson Pi5, Hogan FTX, King Cobra Forged (suprising), and a few Mizuno blades (classic).
Tried them all and it was either gonna be the Pings, or Cobra forged. I feel that once youve used a blade for so long you kind of pick your new set of irons with your eyes - if they dont look right them you aint gonna like them.
Well I couldnt decide - but after looking in the used rack I found an old set of Taylormade 300's - tried them on the range and fell in love with them.
Even though they are much bigger than I would have liked the really do look like an oversize blade and the flight with rifle 6.5 was great- nice and pentrating.
The feel is pretty decent - does not comapre with a blade - a little dull on times - but what I did like about these clubs is the forgiveness on off centre hits.
Now usually I throw the PW away on any set of new clubs - but with the TM 300's the PW has stayed in my bag - which is a first for me.

No need to use Taylormade - though their website is great to find out the specifications on their old irons - which I have found handy.

I bought these clubs used for about $170 off of ebay, after I'd hit them a few times. The clubs take a little while to get used to, but when you do they hit and feel great.The only thing is if you slice your regular cast irons you'll slice these a bunch.
